So after a weekend of prepping and tuning my little R/C car, I seem to be getting back into the rhythm of how to drive these silly things. Two Thursdays ago the fastest lap I could turn was ~14 seconds,  this last Saturday, it was a 12,  and on Sunday in the race I ran consistent 11.4 - 11.6  times.   The time to get on the pace with would be 10.5-8 consistently.   So just a little bit more.  I...

Videos posted
As part of putting all stuff “Joe” on this site, I re-encoded a bunch of video I shot and mixed back in the day up on this site.   They are under the Videos link at the top of the site. Now I will freely admit many of the videos are of so-so quality (production and camera work), or are just music/car vids.  But it’s still a fun record of some car/racing things I did back in the...

Old hobbies coming back to surface
R/C Car racing: So last night I bought up the totes of R/C racing gear that hasn’t been looked at in over a year.   Going to dig through and see what the deal is.   I may even check out a race at the local track on some Thursday coming up.  But i think the end goal is to sell most of it off as I don’t think I have time to really put into R/C right now. But the fact selling the gear...

Geeking out on cameras, servers, and scripting.
Putting the final touches on the scripts and processes to do the time lapse, and webcam capture.   There is quite a bit of detail that is behind the scenes to make this work as none of the systems I am using are meant to do what they are doing. Some insight: Basics: The camera (a free Microsoft LifeCam Cinema I had laying around) is connected via a 35ft USB active power extetion cable, to a...
